AV
The AV transmission (composite) works via three cinch connections, of which one transmits the video signal
(yellow) and two transmit the stereo audio signal (red/white). Use a standard AV cable.
− Connect the AV output of the playback device with the AV input of the TV.
HDMI
HDMI (High Defi nition Multimedia Interface) is an interface for digital video and audio transmission. It has the
highest quality of transmission and can also play Ultra HD resolution, from version 2.0. Use a standard HDMI cable:
− Connect the corresponding HDMI ports of the devices used with an HDMI cable.
HDMI ARC (Audio Return Channel)
If you want to use a TV set as a signal receiver AND signal source (to transmit an audio signal to an audio receiver),
you must use the HDMI2 port with audio return channel (ARC). The HDMI connection to the TV then works in both
directions. It can receive image and sound signals from a video device and the audio signal of the TV set can also
be sent to the audio receive via the audio return channel.
− Connect the video device (e.g. Blu-ray player) to the audio receiver via HDMI.
− Connect the audio receiver to the TV set via HDMI/ARC.
− Take care to ensure that the speaker control of the TV set is routed to the external amplifi er.
HDMI CEC (Consumer Electronics Control)
CEC is the abbreviation for Consumer Electronics Control. If you connect different devices via CEC-enabled HDMI
connections, you can control certain functions of the entire HDMI network with a single remote control (e.g.
standby or record functions):
− Connect all devices via CEC-enabled HDMI ports with HDMI cables. The HDMI ports on your TV set are all
CEC-enabled.
− Take care to ensure that the CEC functions are enabled for all ports and that all devices are connected
accordingly.
USB
A USB port can be used to connect and read storage media such as USB sticks or external hard drives. Use a
suitable USB cable. If a suitable USB cable is supplied, you should use this (e.g. for hard drives). Always verify the
power consumption of the USB storage medium used and use the corresponding USB connections.
− Connect the corresponding USB ports of the devices used with a suitable USB cable. Whenever possible, do
not use a USB extension cord as this can cause problems, depending on the voltage.
SPDIF
SPDIF (Sony
®
/Phillips digital interface) is an interface for transferring digital stereo or multi-channel audio signals
between various devices. Usually, the digital audio signal is output via a coaxial (cinch) or an optical connection.
Your TV features an optical SPDIF port. Use a standard, optical SPDIF cable.
− Connect the corresponding SPDIF ports of the devices used with a corresponding SPDIF cable.
VGA (PC)
You can connect a PC with a monitor/TV to transmit the video signal via the VGA port. Use a standard VGA cable.
− Connect the corresponding VGA ports of the devices used with a VGA cable.
